Bug Description
Many applications require to own a name on the session D-Bus. This is often used for app uniqueness and D-Bus launching (e.g. many GNOME apps).
For example (lp:~ubuntu-desktop/+junk/gnome-mahjongg-snap) attempting to run gives:
$ /snap/bin/
Failed to register: GDBus.Error:
I would expect the unity7 interface to allow bus name ownership so these apps can work.

That's something most of GNOME apps do nowadays ... Jamie, Tyler, do you know if it would be easy to allow that in the unity7 apparmor rules?
